""The RUSSIAN ARMY IS A GUARANTOR OF PEACE AND STABILITY IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS"

Comrade Lieutenant General, the association you lead actively participated in the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus. How often do army personnel today have to intervene in the course of Chechen events?

After the completion of the active military phase of the counter-terrorism operation, the scale of our participation in its various activities decreased significantly. This is understandable: any large gangster groups have been practically destroyed, this is completely true, and the liquidation of residual small gangster groups has been entrusted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB. After the reassignment of the 42nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division directly to the North Caucasus Military District, the presence of military personnel of the 58th Army itself in Chechnya is limited to the combat work of reconnaissance units, specialists from engineering and repair services, and military signalmen. In addition, a number of officers of the association and subordinate formations and units are on the territory of the Chechen Republic on long-term business trips.

So in this sense, we feel the hot breath of the “hot spot” every day. Another no less important circumstance that we have to take into account most seriously is the still remaining threat of terrorist and sabotage attacks. As we know, bandits of various stripes and nationalities are haunted by the increasingly confident peaceful life in the Chechen Republic. Alas, here and there there are explosions and people are dying. Among the victims, unfortunately, there are many military personnel. Let us recall, for example, the barbaric bombing of the Mozdok garrison hospital or Beslan last September, where our military personnel played an important role in the release of hostages.

We were forced to take a set of measures aimed at reducing the risk of terrorist attacks. Particular attention is paid to the construction of engineering and technical structures that prevent unauthorized entry of transport into the territory of military units and institutions. At the entrances to the residential areas of military camps, specially trained military personnel are on duty around the clock. The units systematically conduct training to repel a potential attack. People receive detailed instructions, acquire and consolidate skills. Everything that depends on us is done in the troops.

Viktor Ivanovich, how does the army use the accumulated experience of military personnel participating in combat operations?

We consider the use of accumulated experience as an integral part of the entire learning process. Many of our military personnel took part not only in the Chechen and Dagestan events. At one time they became a kind of buffer in the Ossetian-Ingush conflict. Our military personnel still perform peacekeeping functions in South Ossetia. And, as you know, the situation there is difficult. And in repelling the terrorist attack on Nalchik, the army men played an important role.

All this requires high professional and moral training from army personnel.

But life goes on as usual. Most of the most experienced military personnel retired, units and units were replenished with newcomers. This is especially true for platoon and company commanders. Many of these positions are filled today by graduates of civilian universities. Therefore, the methodological training of officers is now the focus of attention of the army headquarters and administration. For example, training and methodological gatherings for company commanders and units equal to them, where they improve their practical knowledge and skills in organizing military service, conducting classes in tactical and fire training, driving military equipment, ensuring interaction and combat coordination of units.

In the recently completed academic year, units and formations of the 58th Army conducted many platoon live-fire exercises, battalion- and company-level tactical live-fire exercises, and dozens of command-staff mobilization exercises and training.

And what place is given in the curriculum to such a component of combat training as mountain training of troops?

We view mountain training as a serious aspect of combat training. The specificity of our combat training activities lies in the fact that the area of responsibility of the 58th Army covers the mountainous regions of North Ossetia - Alania, Ingushetia, Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria and other territories. It is no secret that a significant part of the counter-terrorism operation was also carried out in the mountainous regions of the Chechen Republic. At a certain stage, we encountered serious shortcomings in this type of training, especially during the first Chechen campaign. Previously, in the Soviet Army, this system was clearly established. However, after the collapse of the USSR and in the initial period of formation of the new Russian army, much was lost. In particular, higher military educational institutions with specialized mining training underwent reformation and reduction. Including the traditional source of personnel for officers - “mountain workers” - the Vladikavkaz Higher Military Combined Arms Command School. A similar fate once befell our main educational and methodological center, the Daryal mountain range. And this turned out to have unpleasant consequences for us. After all, in a combat situation one had to deal with a well-trained enemy, who, as they say, was born in the mountains and knew every path there. Therefore, back in the mid-90s, the command of the North Caucasus Military District decided to immediately restore the Daryal training ground. And already in 1998 it came into operation again. Of course, this is not our only testing ground, but its “biography” is quite indicative. Now the training ground fully provides classes on almost any subject. The directorate of combat vehicles, a mountain military shooting range, a mountain tank and race track, and a mountain sports complex are functioning successfully.

Most military personnel who have undergone training at the Daryal mountain range receive serious practical skills in using the camouflage properties of the terrain, firing up and down from various types of small arms. And commanders view the acquisition of mountain combat skills as an obligatory element of professional personal training and as a necessary condition for further career growth.

It is no coincidence that the Russian army is called the guarantor of peace and stability in the North Caucasus.

“Two Alpha officers were killed, and the tanks began to work”

In the Supreme Court of North Ossetia, at the next meeting in the case of Nurpashi Kulaev, the commander of the 58th Army, Viktor Sobolev, was interrogated. He stated that he considered negotiations with terrorists unnecessary.

Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev learned about the hostage-taking “at approximately 9 o’clock on September 1,” took an official car and drove to Beslan.

“A motorized rifle company was alerted,” said witness Sobolev at the trial. “And then I gave instructions to send there a reconnaissance company and a tank company, and then another motorized rifle company and another reconnaissance company.” Together with internal troops, we began to blockade the area around the school. The Minister of Defense came to me and ordered me to carry out tasks that are typical of the armed forces: to prevent terrorists from entering the blockade zone.

Lieutenant General Sobolev took out the blocking diagram from the tablet and handed it to Judge Tamerlan Aguzarov.

- Is this a secret document? - Judge Aguzarov asked. “There is such a thing, there is,” state prosecutor Maria Semisynova hastened to answer for the military witness, but Viktor Sobolev, despite the secrecy, left the diagram to the judge.

— How many militants, according to your data, were there at the school? — Victims’ lawyer Taimuraz Chedzhemov asked the army commander.

“According to police representatives, up to 30,” answered Viktor Sobolev. — What was the connection with the operational headquarters? - Mr. Chedzhemov asked again. “Personal communication,” said the witness. “They met practically continuously.” - Who was in charge of the headquarters? — The head of the FSB Directorate of Ossetia is Valery Andreev, but on the first day the President of the Republic, Alexander Dzasokhov, took the initiative. I saw the note sent by the terrorists on the first day in his hands. Dzasokhov wanted negotiations from the very beginning, and when he received the note, he decided to go to the militants himself. He was held back only by Dzantiev (Kazbek Dzantiev, former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Ossetia - Kommersant), who said that he would simply be shot. When Roshal arrived, he was also eager to go to school, he even went, but he was stopped by warning shots from bandits who wanted to see everyone together, and not one at a time.

- Why didn’t everyone go? “I didn’t see Zyazikov (President of Ingushetia Murat Zyazikov - Kommersant), but they demanded him too,” said Viktor Sobolev. “But he never showed up.”

Lieutenant General Sobolev also spoke about the participation of the armed forces in the assault on the first school.

“We were given the task of narrowing the blocking ring around the school and providing armored vehicles for the attackers - to cover them with armor and suppress the bandits’ firing points. Eight transporters and a tank platoon consisting of three vehicles were transferred to the FSB, but they did not participate in the assault.

— Why were there such large losses among the attackers? - Mr. Chedzhemov asked.

“On September 3, they left to practice interaction with armored vehicles in the suburbs of Vladikavkaz,” answered witness Sobolev. “So when the first explosion occurred, they were not there, and they began the assault with a march.” That's why there were so many losses.

-When did the tanks start shooting? — the lawyer asked another question. — At 21:00, on the orders of the officer of the special operations center, the tank fired several shots, when there was no one left in the school except the militants. This decision was made because at that time two Alpha officers who were at the school were killed. They were shot in the back in the dark. That's why the tanks started working. There were no living people left in the school.

“But many say that they saw and heard the tank firing until 21 o’clock!” - This is complete nonsense! It can not be so. The shots from the Shmel RPO and the tank are practically indistinguishable to a non-specialist.

— What if a tank fired into the dining room? - asked the defense lawyer, remembering that the defendant Kulaev spoke about this at the previous meeting.

“This is a serious projectile,” the military man answered, thoughtfully. “There would be consequences (he didn’t finish. - Kommersant)...

— Could it be possible to do without the use of tanks? “It’s possible,” the commander of the 58th Army said firmly. “There would have been a dozen more dead Alpha soldiers.”

— Do you think it was worth negotiating? — the lawyer did not let up. - I think not! — Viktor Sobolev immediately answered. “If we had not talked with Basayev in Budennovsk, this Basayev would not have existed a long time ago.” And this terrorist attack would not have happened. In Israel, where they do not negotiate with terrorists, there are always fewer victims.

Viktor Sobolev, answering the question why the militants needed the presidents of North Ossetia and Ingushetia, said that, in his opinion, the goal of the terrorists was “to create an armed conflict between Ossetians and Ingush”:

“The assassination of presidents would add to the volume of this matter. — Why were they looking for Maskhadov? - Taimuraz Chedzhemov asked almost sarcastically. -Who was looking for him? — the lieutenant general was sincerely surprised. - Dzasokhov. - Why was he looking for him? — Viktor Sobolev answered the question with a question. “I don’t know.” I wasn't looking.

— Do you think it is necessary to take action if information is received about an impending terrorist attack? - asked Mr. Chedzhemov.

- We must, of course! I receive such signals every day! I received it today. - So, something could happen today? - And today it can!

***

Viktor Ivanovich expressed his concern about the situation in the country. He was especially worried about the situation that had developed in the army under the leadership of the current Minister of Defense Serdyukov. After studying the work carried out by the party organization of the republic, talking with activists, he decided to join the ranks of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, promising to provide all possible support and assistance to the republican party organization.

“We have known Viktor Ivanovich Sobolev for a long time as a true Russian Soviet officer, devoted to his oath, loving his country and Motherland. This is a great event for us that a person of this level decided to stand next to us and do everything to change the situation in the country for the better. The work of our sister organization, the Union of Soviet Officers, will take a very serious step forward with the arrival of Viktor Ivanovich. A program for military-patriotic education of youth has already been outlined. There are elections ahead to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, presidential elections and elections to the Parliament of North Ossetia-Alania, and the fact that people like Viktor Ivanovich are turning to us indicates that the position of the Communist Party is strengthening and its rating is growing. And there is no doubt, we will win the parliamentary elections!

Lieutenant General Viktor Ivanovich Sobolev was born on February 23, 1950 in Krasnodar. Graduated from the Baku Higher Combined Arms Command School, the Military Academy named after M.V. Frunze and the Military Academy of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces. Promoted positions from motorized rifle platoon commander to deputy army commander. Since 2002 - Deputy Commander of the OGV (s) in the North Caucasus. 2003-06 Commander of the 58th Army of the North Caucasus Military District.
Since 2006, chief military adviser at the Russian Embassy in India. He left his post upon reaching the age limit in December 2010.

On the eve of the elections, our President and Supreme Commander-in-Chief Dmitry Medvedev and “national leader” Vladimir Putin became concerned, among other things, with the state of the army and the country’s military-industrial complex and assure the gullible citizens of Russia that they will do everything to ensure that our Armed Forces meet modern requirements and received new types of weapons and military equipment in a timely manner.

Russian media controlled by the government and the president also actively joined these ASSURANCES. Thus, in the final program on NTV on October 9 with Kirill Pozdnyakov, an entire news block was dedicated to the Russian military department. It was prepared by NTV correspondent Alexey Pobortsev. And, I must say, he did everything to smooth out the rough edges and problems of the Armed Forces and the military-industrial complex that had accumulated over the years of reform, while at the same time promoting our “national leader” Vladimir Putin, who this time personally tested the control system of the T-90S tank with commander's seats in the tower.
The car is good in all respects: a modern communication and navigation system, additional electromagnetic protection of the armored hull, automatic transmission, rearview camera; the tank is equipped with a complex of guided missiles with a range of hitting targets up to 5000 m; According to experts, it has good export prospects, but... it will not be supplied to the Russian army.
It turns out that our Ministry of Defense is waiting for a fundamentally new model of the tank, the development of which should supposedly be completed by 2015. This is despite the fact that the Ministry of Defense abandoned the previously developed new T-95. Its prototypes were manufactured and factory tested - and that’s it. And therefore, according to the statement of First Deputy Minister of Defense A. Sukhorukov, it is planned to modernize the Soviet T-72 tanks of the 70s: “the Ministry of Defense is satisfied with the price-quality ratio.” The fact that the capacity of Uralvagonzavod, the last Russian plant capable of producing modern tanks, will be idle is not important for our Ministry of Defense.
The matter is further aggravated by the fact that the export prospects for our armored vehicles as a result of the activities of the previous First Deputy Minister of Defense V. Popovkin are very vague. In 2010, Mr. Popovkin gave the most negative characterization of our military-industrial complex in the media, rated almost all types of our weapons and military equipment as outdated and unpromising, which actually dealt a blow to our entire military-technical cooperation with foreign countries. (Who will purchase outdated models of military equipment?). Mr. Popovkin was urgently transferred to another position - to Russian Space, after which all our rockets began to fall. I cannot connect all the failures of our space industry directly with the name of Mr. Popovkin, but the fact remains a fact.
“The military doesn’t want to just order new tanks and aircraft,” A. Pobortsev further says, “they need modern combat systems and battle control systems.” And what does this mean, military observer V. Litovkin explains to the gullible Russian citizen: “The tank must be connected to an unmanned aerial vehicle. He must transmit the target coordinates to the tank. And the missile must be guided to the target and corrected by a drone.”
As a military man, I can’t imagine how this will happen in practice. Unmanned aerial vehicles can indeed provide enormous assistance in reconnaissance of targets, but area ones: artillery and anti-aircraft batteries, control posts and communications centers, areas where various reserves are located; with their help, you can adjust the fire of artillery and multiple launch rocket systems from closed firing positions. But to detect a single camouflaged target for a tank (a tank or an anti-tank gun, an anti-tank guided missile in a firing position) using a drone and adjust the fire of a tank gun - this could only occur to a military observer who has never served in the army.
And, of course, such unmanned aerial vehicles can only be manufactured in Israel (which the Israelis demonstrated during the last war in Lebanon, when they lost most of their Merkava tanks, which were considered invulnerable).
By the way, the military themselves have not ordered anything for a long time. This is done for them by completely different people - “effective” civilian managers who have never served in the army, but who understand financial flows much better than the military.
The military observer is complemented by another “major military specialist” - Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, who justified the need to purchase unmanned aerial vehicles in Israel. Next came the justification for the need to purchase Mistrals from France and sniper rifles from England. Moreover, A. Pobortsev agreed that the sighting range of our SVD sniper rifle, it turns out, is three times less and is only 500 m. Well, is it possible to be so ignorant of military affairs and prepare a military program?!
“Today the Ministry of Defense has money,” continues A. Pobortsev, “so sometimes more expensive foreign models are purchased for the army. “Soon our motorized riflemen will be driving Italian armored vehicles from IVECO.” They are, however, inferior in maneuverability and cross-country ability to the domestic Tiger armored vehicles, but superior to them in armor protection (our Ministry of Defense is not embarrassed by the fact that it was they who ordered the vehicles with this level of protection). At the international arms exhibition in Nizhny Tagil, an Italian armored car was unable to overcome obstacles that the Tiger easily conquered.

Russian "Tiger"

But as a military man, I have a question: why do our motorized rifles need armored vehicles at all? After all, these are not battlefield vehicles; neither ours, nor even more so the Italian armored car will overcome a basic trench without bridges pre-installed across it, not to mention weapons.
Military observer V. Litovkin also justified the refusal to purchase Kalashnikov assault rifles: “Kalashnikovs, of course, are not suitable for a professional warrior. Because the AK has a drawback: one or two bullets hit the target, the rest fan out to the side.” But this is characteristic of all automatic small arms without exception and largely depends on the training of the shooter. This is such a “professional” critic.
As if with regret, A. Pobortsev states that not all types of weapons for the Russian army can yet be purchased abroad, for example, the X-35 anti-ship missile. Western partners today will not sell anything similar or more modern to Russia.
The only sober thought in this program was expressed by the General Director of the Tactical Missile Arms Corporation B. Obnosov: “If we expect that someone will sell us modern models on a serial scale, this is nonsense. Everyone is concerned about their own safety, and we are not actually such close friends with all our competitors that they would sell us good weapons.” Everyone is worried about their safety, except for our Ministry of Defense, unfortunately. As for “good weapons,” I think this fully applies to the Mistrals, IVECO, British sniper rifles, and Israeli drones.
And one more very important point. During the reforms, we liquidated the army system of technical maintenance and military repair of weapons and military equipment. It is assumed that this will be done by the commercial structure Oboronservis and representatives of manufacturing plants. Weapons and military equipment purchased abroad will also be serviced and repaired by representatives of foreign companies in the troops, or what?
The First Deputy Minister of Defense easily and naturally justified the disruption of the state defense order this year. It turns out that officials of the Ministry of Defense demanded that military-industrial complex enterprises justify in detail the prices for all components, right down to screws. Therefore, most contracts were concluded only by October. Well, who is to blame for this? Of course, the military-industrial complex enterprises themselves. But it seems to me that if the president had not suddenly remembered about the state defense order, no one would have concluded contracts this year at all. I wonder if the money allocated by the budget for the purchase of weapons and military equipment has really been lying dead all this time?!
By the way, about prices. Does Mr. Sukhorukov not know that after paying all taxes, military-industrial complex enterprises only have half of the amount allocated to them (half is returned to the state)? But that is not all. The titular piece of the “defense pie” goes to bankers in the form of interest on loans. After all, the allocated money never reaches enterprises on time, and we have to take out loans; this is the policy of our Ministry of Finance. There are also intermediary companies that organize various tenders. For some reason, the Ministry of Defense does not work directly with military-industrial complex enterprises. And, of course, there is the corruption component.
That's how many problems that need to be solved at the level of the Ministry of Defense, and not counting in 9 months, how much do screws cost? From really big money (20 trillion by 2020), our military-industrial complex will receive mere crumbs. But instead, the Ministry of Defense decided to order weapons and military equipment abroad.
So, what do we have today?
This year's defense order has been disrupted. Chronic underfunding or, as this year, its almost complete absence has led to the country’s military-industrial complex degrading and rapidly losing its ability to produce new modern weapons and military equipment. In order for new models to appear, it is necessary to advance funding for research and development work - R&D, and they are generally financed on a residual basis. Enterprises that are not busy with production are losing skilled workers and engineers, whose training takes many years.
And this situation in our military-industrial complex has developed largely due to the targeted policy in the field of state defense procurement of our own Ministry of Defense. Really the president and our “national leader” don’t see and understand this? And if they see it, why don’t they take any measures?
The situation in the Armed Forces is even worse. It is believed that we have a million-strong army, as Mr. Sukhorukov recalled in this program. Let's count together. There are 150 thousand officers in the army, there are no warrant officers at all, they were liquidated. According to the civilian head of GOMU V. Smirnov, 184 thousand contract soldiers serve in the army and navy. A total of 334 thousand, which means that the remaining 666 thousand people are conscripts. But they simply weren’t called up that many. In addition, conscripts serve not only in the army and navy; of the total number of conscripts, up to 30% serve in the internal troops, border troops, units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, in the presidential regiment, and finally. This means that there is a huge shortage in the army and navy, and it will only grow. The autumn conscription is planned to be reduced by almost 2 times. More than 200 thousand citizens, according to the same Smirnov, evade military service. The spring conscription extends until September, and the autumn conscription until March. All the troops do is continuously, throughout the year, in small groups, recruit young soldiers into their ranks, organize individual training with them, and try to staff the units. At the same time, the dismissal process is also ongoing. Under these conditions, there can be no question of any high-quality staffing of units. What are these parts of constant combat readiness?
Therefore, NATO military analysts note with satisfaction that as a result of the reforms carried out, the Russian Armed Forces are no longer able to successfully solve problems even in local conflicts, “The Russian army does not have a sufficient number of vehicles to transport troops over long distances, does not have a sufficient number of aircraft and pilots who can fly in any weather, there is no unified information system. There are not enough soldiers in the army..."
The Russian army is collapsed, NATO understands this, but what about the country’s leadership?

Meet us!

Lieutenant General IN AND. Sobolev – commanded the 58th Army of the North Caucasus Military District, participated in the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus, was Chief Military Counselor of the Russian Embassy in India. After resigning, the general joined the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and led the public Movement in support of the army, defense industry and military science (DPA). A Russian officer who loves his homeland and knows how to defend it, Sobolev does not tolerate lies and hypocrisy. The general debunks the ostentatious patriotism of the authorities who support the compradors, who, even during the sanctions, enrich themselves by briskly trading with “partners” who have located their missile defense systems and military bases close to our borders.

– What's going on, Viktor Ivanovich? Medvedev’s government complains day and night that Western sanctions against Russia are undermining our economy, they have cut off our budget, which is why Russians are being reduced in salaries, pensions, and benefits. Do some people feel like sanctions are like “mother’s mother”?

– Sanctions are a convenient excuse for the government. It blames its mediocrity on sanctions. But lookfraternal Belarus For many years he has been living under sanctions. However, all the factories are working there, all the fields are plowed and sown, people are working, everything is clean and orderly.Little Cuba Since its existence, the West has been strangling it with sanctions. But everything works there too, the production sector is developing, social guarantees are strictly implemented. Cuban medicine occupies a leading place in the world. People come to Cuba for treatment from everywhere. In the context of ongoing sanctions -North Korea. But they don’t complain there either, but create their own nuclear missile shield.

And these countries have practically no natural resources.

And Russia is the richest country in the world in natural resources. If we divide our resources by each resident of the country, then we are 20 times richer than the Americans, and 50 times richer than Western Europeans. Using resources in favor of the state, it would be possible to raise our economy to the highest place in the world. But the leadership of the Russian Federation with its pocket parties and “heroes” seems to be concerned about something else...

– With what ?

– The goal of the “reforms” launched by Yeltsin-Gaidar after the 1991 coup was not to strengthen Russia, but to turn it into a raw materials colony of the West, followed by degradation and collapse. We heard about this, for example, from Koch. In my opinion, we have already become a colony. Our grain, timber, gas, oil, fertilizers, and metals are flowing to the West. Sanctions do not prevent this.

The most glaring example is our titanium, rare and very hard. metal. Before 90% of it goes to the United States to enterprises of the military-industrial complex. Titanium is needed for Boeings and Airbuses, which filled the skies, including in our country. Russian aviation was ruined, and Western aviation was “fed”... The Russian “owners” of titanium production profit from the titanium trade, their interests are personal enrichment. Sanctions are not a hindrance for them. This is not oil or gas, but the metal from which all aircraft are made. There were 15 aircraft factories in the Soviet Union. Each produced a hundred or even more aircraft per year. Every third plane in the world was Soviet. Will you find at least one Russian plane anywhere today? All Boeings and Airbuses - all made of our titanium. But Russian aircraft factories are standing still. I recently heard that 4 Su-134 bombers will be delivered to one of the military units in the Eastern District. What is 4, it's funny. Yes, in the USSR, each of the 15 factories produced 100 aircraft. And then everything was cut off. Novosibirsk plant named after. Chkalov produced the Su-24. But Yeltsin, returning from the USA, with his own handby decree banned the production of these aircraft. At that time they were the best, most modern in the world. Instead of them there are Su-134s, but only 4 of them. Or maybe this plant can make hundreds of such aircraft. How can we defend the country?

– But the most amazing thing is that you said from the podium that America, which has imposed sanctions against us, is openly threatening us, saber-rattling, Russian businessmen are selling unique titanium ?

– Exactly. And the US strategy towards Russia, as stated in their military doctrine, is to deliver the first global disarming strike on our nuclear forces with hypersonic missiles made from our titanium. After which, according to American military analysts, we will have about 15–20% of nuclear missiles left. If they take off, they will be neutralized by the missile defense system that is being created around the Russian Federation. Then - the invasion of ground forces... The United States is actively building up military groups around our borders - in the Baltic states, Poland, Romania. Last year, 1,500 tanks were deployed in the Baltic states. Now the American brigade is conducting exercises there. The slightest reason and they will turn in our direction. But for now they need a lot of titanium. And our compradors are ready to provide it to their “partners”. In the Urals, in the city of Verkhnyaya Salda, a joint Russian-American enterprise arose...

Help (Wikipedia) : In 2007, an agreement was signed to create a joint venture between VSMPO-AVISMA and Boeing - Ural Boeing Manufacturing (UBM), briefly “Ural-Boeing”. It came into operation in 2009. In the same year, in the presence of Putin, a contract was signed with Airbus until 2020 ($4 billion), in 2012 - with Boeing until 2018. All contracts are valid, cooperation is not interrupted. VCVSMPO-AVISMA Corporation includestwo industrial sites - "VSMPO" in the city of Verkhnyaya Salda, Sverdlovsk region and "AVISMA" - a branch in the city of Berezniki, Perm Territory. The base for the corporation was a plant for the production of semi-finished products from aluminum and magnesium alloys, built during the Stalinist five-year plans in the Moscow region. In 1941, he was evacuated to the Urals, to Verkhnyaya Salda. In the 90s, unique production passed into private hands. Later a joint venture appeared. VSMPO-AVISMA integrated into the state corporation "Russian Technologies". The liberal press wrote about Chemezov that he showed miracles of enterprise, managing “during a period of crisis, secretly from everyone beyond the Urals, to build one of the most modern enterprises in the world together with the Americans.” Chemezov is proud that not a single Boeing will take off without the Russian titanium, and that he manages to cooperate with the Americans despite any external disagreements: “our joint venture is an alliance of business leaders from Russia and the United States - the state corporation Rostekhnologii, represented by the world leader in titanium production VSMPO-AVISMA, and the world leader in the field of aircraft manufacturing - Boeing.

…Only 25% and one share of titanium production remains in the hands of the state. It is no longer ours. This is how we become a raw materials colony of the West.

– Where is the patriotism? ?

– He is in words. In fact, the opposite is true. Take education. It was purposefully destroyed. The nerve center of the destruction is the Higher School of Economics (HSE), created with funds from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in 1992. They explain why our education was “reformed”: to eliminate the redundancy of knowledge. It turns out that our government spent extra money on “excessive” education. To eliminate this “shortcoming” they began to introduce the Unified State Exam and the Bologna system. And HSE, as a bearer of Western ideas, has been generously funded by the state from the first day, much more than Moscow State University. Lomonosov. This is “patriotism”.

– There are also many questions regarding the financial sector. .

– In finance and economics, everything is going as in the 90s, according to the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He does not allow us to reduce the interest rate on loans, and the United States advises us to reduce rates. And it turns out that in the Russian Federation not a single plant, not a single company can receive loans for its development. Sanctions have deprived our producers of affordable loans abroad.

– And no one explains why there are no cheap loans in the Russian Federation ?

– Who should I explain to? Our Central Bank is even registered in New York... They tell us: there is not enough money. And last year they purchased $92.5 billion in debt obligations. Ostensibly for the reliable storage of our reserves. And who do they take us for? Who will pay us for these debt papers if the United States owes it to the whole world?

– You came to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Why?

– I believed the communists, the party programs, Zyuganov. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is a party of patriots, this corresponds to my convictions.

– There will be elections to the State Duma in September. What dangers do you think await the Communist Party of the Russian Federation? How to overcome them?

- First . It is necessary to expose all fake pseudo-communist parties. I think they are being created within the Administration. There is the CPSU, and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and the “Communists of Russia”... They were created in order to confuse people in the elections. We need to make it clear to voters where the fakes are so they don't make mistakes.

Second. There is a danger of fraud and distortion of the final results. This is what happened in the last elections, when unscrupulous stuffing was committed and real results were replaced with false ones. I know this was common in the republics of the North Caucasus.

But first we need to convince people to come to the polling stations and vote. We need to work with people who today, for the most part, live very poorly, are nostalgic for the past and do not know how to improve their lives. They need to explain that they can change their lives by supporting the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

We need to work more with young people. When you start explaining to her how things really are, she accepts it very well, even better than older people who have already resigned themselves to their fate. Young people want change and believe in it. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is leading to change.
